1. no investment in science, tech or anything that allows us to compete with the rest of the world.
2. segregation and separate governments by race. Look at Jackson.
3. No birth control, abortion pills or any medical care for woman.
4. No investment in education. Just private education that is very religious centered.
5. Toll roads everywhere to pay for infrastructure. Can't drive 5 blocks without paying the piper!
6. Gay people and trans people banned and probably made illegal.
7. Elections controlled by the republican party in ways that aint fair. Putins russia would be fairer.
8. No freedom to watch porn, to take part in sexual behavior and quite possibly we could be looking at no sex before marriage laws being put into place again.
9. Child labor and an end to minimum wage. No wage or workers rights. An abolishment of unions.
10. No safetynet for the poor or the disabled. They'd have to work in the sweat shops or the fields all day long until they drop dead.

FL: So-called 'Don't Say Gay' rules expanded through 12th grade in Florida
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/called- ... d=98691183

The Florida Board of Education has voted to expand restrictions on classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

"This amendment prohibits classroom instruction to students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity. For Grades 4 through 12, instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards ... or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend," according to the amendment.

This rule would build on the Parental Rights in Education law Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in March 2022. The law bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade.

Either vote democrats this coming election or prepare to live in the dark ages. I am serious.

Mississippi Must Grant Religious Exemptions For Childhood Vaccines, Federal Judge Rules
https://www.mississippifreepress.org/32 ... udge-rules

Anti-vaccine activists are celebrating in Mississippi after a federal judge struck down the State’s long-standing childhood vaccine requirements for public or private school attendance, saying the State must allow religious exemptions like most others already do. Mississippi is one of just six states that only permits childhood vaccines for medical reasons, with no religious exemptions.

The Texas-based Informed Consent Action Network funded the lawsuit, filed in September 2022, arguing that the lack of religious exemptions for vaccines violates the First Amendment’s guarantees of the free exercise of religion. On Tuesday, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi Judge Sul Ozerden agreed with ICAN’s argument.

The George W. Bush-appointed judge’s order says that starting on July 15, the Mississippi State Department of Health “will be enjoined from enforcing (Mississippi’s compulsory vaccination law) unless they provide an option for individuals to request a religious exemption from the vaccine requirement.” The State could still appeal the ruling, however.

Mississippi’s compulsory childhood immunization requirements include a vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis; for polio; for hepatitis B; for measles, mumps and rubella; and for chickenpox. The State does not mandate COVID-19 vaccines. Mississippi has the highest childhood vaccination rate in the nation, a fact that MSDH has attributed to strict vaccine laws. While other states with more permissive vaccine laws have reported measles outbreaks in recent years, Mississippi has not reported a case originating in the state in decades.

The State once allowed religious exemptions for childhood vaccines, but the Mississippi Supreme Court struck that law down in its 1979 Brown v. Stone ruling.

“Is it mandated by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution that innocent children, too young to decide for themselves, are to be denied the protection against crippling and death that immunization provides because of a religious belief adhered to by a parent or parents?” the justices wrote at the time.

The answer, they decided, was no.

Public schools would have to display Ten Commandments under bill passed by Texas Senate
Public schools in Texas would have to prominently display the Ten Commandments in every classroom starting next school year under a bill the Texas Senate approved Thursday.

Senate Bill 1515 by Sen. Phil King, R-Weatherford, now heads to the House for consideration.

This is the latest attempt from Texas Republicans to inject religion into public schools. In 2021, state Sen. Bryan Hughes, a Mineola Republican, authored a bill that became law requiring schools to display donated “In God We Trust” signs.

King said during a committee hearing earlier this month that the Ten Commandments are part of American heritage and it’s time to bring them back into the classroom. He said the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for his bill after it sided with Joe Kennedy, a high school football coach in Washington state who was fired for praying at football games. The court ruled that was praying as a private citizen, not as an employee of the district.
